90 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
91 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
92 devices.
93
94 @b{JTAG:} OpenOCD uses a ``hardware interface dongle'' to communicate
95 with the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) complient taps on your target board.
96
97 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently many types of hardware dongles: USB
98 Based, Parallel Port Based, and other standalone boxes that run
99 OpenOCD internally. See the section titled: @xref{JTAG Hardware
100 Dongles}.
101
102 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920t,
103 ARM922t, ARM926ej--s, ARM966e--s), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
104 Cortex-M3 (Luminary Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be
105 debugged via the GDB Protocol.
106
107 @b{Flash Programing:} Flash writing is supported for external CFI
108 compatible flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
109 internal flashes (LPC2000, AT91SAM7, STR7x, STR9x, LM3 and
110 STM32x). Preliminary support for using the LPC3180's NAND flash
111 controller is included.

117 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
118 University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
119 Others interested in improving the state of free and open debug and testing technology
120 are welcome to participate.
121
122 Other developers have contributed support for additional targets and flashes as well
123 as numerous bugfixes and enhancements. See the AUTHORS file for regular contributors.

129 @cindex building OpenOCD
130
131 If you are interested in getting actual work done rather than building
132 OpenOCD, then check if your interface supplier provides binaries for
133 you. Chances are that that binary is from some SVN version that is more
134 stable than SVN trunk where bleeding edge development takes place.
135
136
137 You can download the current SVN version with SVN client of your choice from the
138 following repositories:
139
140 (@uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk})
141
142 or
143
144 (@uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk})
145
146 Using the SVN command line client, you can use the following command to fetch the
147 latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
148 current directory):
149
150 @example
151 svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
152 @end example
153
154 Building OpenOCD requires a recent version of the GNU autotools.
155 On my build system, I'm using autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.9. For building on Windows,
156 you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
157 other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
158 paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
159 from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).
160
161 You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
162 a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
163 @itemize @bullet
164 @item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
165 @item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
166 @item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
167 homepage (@uref{www.amontec.com}), as the JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID.
168 @end itemize
169
170 libftdi is supported under windows. Versions earlier than 0.13 will require patching.
171 see contrib/libftdi for more details.
172
173 In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
174 but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't that bad, as it isn't
175 a kernel module, only a user space library.
176
177 To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
178 @example
179 ./bootstrap
180 @end example
181 Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
182 @example
183 ./configure
184 @end example
185 Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
186 @example
187 make
188 @end example
189 Make builds OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/.
190
191 The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
192 should be included:
193
194 @itemize @bullet
195 @item
196 @option{--enable-parport}
197 @item
198 @option{--enable-parport_ppdev}

205 @footnote{Using the latest D2XX drivers from FTDI and following their installation
206 instructions, I had to use @option{--enable-ft2232_libftd2xx} for OpenOCD to
207 build properly.}

219 @option{--enable-presto_ftd2xx}
220 @item
221 @option{--enable-jlink}
222 @end itemize
223
224 If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
225 both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
226 the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
227 (see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
228
229 Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
230 absolute path containing no spaces.
231
232 Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
233 locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib.

260
261 @section Choosing a Dongle
262
263 There are three things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
264
265 @enumerate
266 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target? 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V? Does your dongle support it?
267 @item @b{Connection} Printer Ports - Does your computer have one?
268 @item @b{Connection} Is that long printer bit-bang cable practical?
269 @item @b{RTCK} Do you require RTCK? Also known as ``adaptive clocking''

274 @b{ZY1000} See: @url{http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html} Technically, not a
275 dongle, but a standalone box.
276
277 @section USB FT2232 Based
278
279 There are many USB jtag dongles on the market, many of them are based
280 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
281 known as the FTDI FT2232.

407 --version | -v display OpenOCD version
408 --file | -f use configuration file <name>

410 --debug | -d set debug level <0-3>
411 --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
412 --command | -c run <command>
413 @end verbatim
414
415 By default openocd reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
416 in the current directory. To specify a different (or multiple)
417 configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:
418
419 @example
420 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
421 @end example
422
423 Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
424 clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).
425
426 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
427 the ``-d'' option.
428
429 Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
430 @option{-c} command line switch.
431
432 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
433 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
434 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
435 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
436 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
437 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @option{debug_level
438 <n>} @xref{debug_level}.
439
440 You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the
441 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
442
443 Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
444 the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
445 target library is in the search path by default.
446
447 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
448 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
449 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
450 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.

452 @node Simple Configuration Files
453 @chapter Simple Configuration Files
454 @cindex configuration
455
456 @section Outline
457 There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' openocd to run, they are:
458
459 @enumerate
460 @item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
461 @item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
462 @item Many -f filename options on the command line
463 @item Your Mixed Solution
464 @end enumerate
465
466 @section Small configuration file method
467
468 This is the prefered method, it is simple and is works well for many
469 people. The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
470 method. If you create a new configuration please email new
471 configurations to the development list.
472
473 Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256
474
475 @example
476 source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]
477
478 # Change the default telnet port...
479 telnet_port 4444
480 # GDB connects here
481 gdb_port 3333
482 # GDB can also flash my flash!
483 gdb_memory_map enable
484 gdb_flash_program enable
485
486 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
487 @end example
488
489 There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
490 should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
491 should find:
492
493 @enumerate
494 @item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
495 @item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
496 @item @b{target} - the target chips
497 @item @b{tcl} - helper scripts
498 @item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
499 @end enumerate
500
501 Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
502 configuration is a good example to work from.
503
504 @section Many -f filename options
505 Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.
506
507 You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
508 OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:
509
510 @example
511 openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
512 @end example
513
514 You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
515 option.
516
517 @section Monolithic file
518 The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
519 puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
520 encouraged.
521
522 Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
523 technique.
524
525 @section Advice for you
526 Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
527 ``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
528 standard distribution configuration files as needed.
529
530 @b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:
531
532 @enumerate
533 @item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle
534 @item @b{Taps} - Defines the JTAG Taps
535 @item @b{GDB Targets} - What GDB talks to
536 @item @b{Flash Programing} - Very Helpful
537 @end enumerate
538
539 Some key things you should look at and understand are:
540
541 @enumerate
542 @item The RESET configuration of your debug environment as a hole
543 @item Is there a ``work area'' that that OpenOCD can use?
544 @* For ARM - work areas mean up to 10x faster downloads.
545 @item For MMU/MPU based ARM chips (ie: ARM9 and later) will that work area still be available?
546 @item For complex targets (multiple chips) the JTAG SPEED becomes an issue.
547 @end enumerate

551 @node Config File Guidelines
552 @chapter Config File Guidelines
553
554 This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
555 OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
556 configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.
557
558 However, you the user of OpenOCD should be some what familiar with
559 this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
560 you might be looking at.
561
562 The user should find under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} the
563 following directories:
564
565 @itemize @bullet
566 @item @b{interface}
567 @*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the jtag dongle go here.
568 @item @b{board}
569 @* Thing Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
570 contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
571 example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
572 of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
573 sequence to enable that external flash or sdram should be found in the
574 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, ie: Two cpus, or
575 a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
576 @item @b{target}
577 @* Think CHIP. The ``target'' directory represents a jtag tap (or
578 chip) OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
579 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
580 @end itemize
581
582 @b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
583 file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
584 setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
585 various commands specific to their situation.
586
587 @section Interface Config Files
588
589 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
590
591 @example
592 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
593 Or:
594 openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
595 @end example
596
597 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
598 today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
599 sole developer who created it.
600
601 @b{FIXME/NOTE:} We need to add support for a variable like TCL variable
602 tcl_platform(platform), it should be called jim_platform (because it
603 is jim, not real tcl) and it should contain 1 of 3 words: ``linux'',
604 ``cygwin'' or ``mingw''
605
606 Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}
607
608 @section Board Config Files
609
610 @b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008}
611
612 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
613
614 @example
615 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
616 Or:
617 openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
618 @end example
619
620
621 The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
622 target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.
623
624 In summery the board files should contain (if present)
625
626 @enumerate
627 @item External flash configuration (ie: the flash on CS0)
628 @item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc)
629 @item Board specific IO configuration (ie: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
630 @item Multiple TARGET source statements
631 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
632 @item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
633 @end enumerate
634
635 @section Target Config Files
636
637 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
638
639 @example
640 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
641 Or:
642 openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
643 @end example
644
645 In summery the target files should contain
646
647 @enumerate
648 @item Set Defaults
649 @item Create Taps
650 @item Reset Configuration
651 @item Work Areas
652 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core Specific features
653 @item OnChip Flash
654 @end enumerate
655
656 @subsection Important variable names
657
658 By default, the end user should never need to set these
659 variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
660 need to set the variable in a simple way.
661
662 @itemize @bullet
663 @item @b{CHIPNAME}
664 @* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
665 tap identifier dotted name.
666 @item @b{ENDIAN}
667 @* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
668 @item @b{CPUTAPID}
669 @* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
670 every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
671 to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
672 error or warning like this. The hope is this will help pin point
673 problem openocd configurations.
674
675 @example
676 Info: JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
677 Error: ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
678 Error: ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
679 Error: ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
680 @end example
681
682 @item @b{_TARGETNAME}
683 @* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
684 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
685 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
686 specific to that board and that target.
687
688 If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
689 @b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
690
691 @b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.
692
693 At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
694 none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
695 - the next target on the board will be some other number.
696
697 The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:
698
699 @example
700 source [find target/FOO.cfg]
701 $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters
702
703 source [find target/BAR.cfg]
704 $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
705 @end example
706
707 @end itemize
708
709 @subsection TCL Variables Guide Line
710 The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.
711
712 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
713 a leading underscore are temporal in nature, and can be modified and
714 used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file
715
716 @b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:
717
718 @example
719 # Board has 3 chips,
720 # PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
721 # PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
722 # Xilinx Glue logic
723 set CHIPNAME network
724 set ENDIAN big
725 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
726 # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
727 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
728 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
729
730 set ENDIAN little
731 set CHIPNAME video
732 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
733 # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
734 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
735 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
736
737 unset ENDIAN
738 set CHIPNAME xilinx
739 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
740
741 # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
742 # these names still work!
743 network.cpu configure ... params
744 video.cpu configure ... params
745
746 @end example
747
748 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
749
750 All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)
751
752 @example
753 # SIMPLE example
754 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
755 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
756 @} else @{
757 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
758 @}
759
760 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
761 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
762 @} else @{
763 set _ENDIAN little
764 @}
765
766 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
767 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
768 @} else @{
769 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
770 @}
771
772 @end example
773
774 @subsection Creating Taps
775 After the ``defaults'' are choosen, [see above], the taps are created.
776
777 @b{SIMPLE example:} such as an Atmel AT91SAM7X256
778
779 @example
780 # for an ARM7TDMI.
781 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
782 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
783 @end example
784
785 @b{COMPLEX example:}
786
787 This is an SNIP/example for an STR912 - which has 3 internal taps. Key features shown:
788
789 @enumerate
790 @item @b{Unform tap names} - See: Tap Naming Convention
791 @item @b{_TARGETNAME} is created at the end where used.
792 @end enumerate
793
794 @example
795 if @{ [info exists FLASHTAPID ] @} @{
796 set _FLASHTAPID $FLASHTAPID
797 @} else @{
798 set _FLASHTAPID 0x25966041
799 @}
800 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME flash -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_FLASHTAPID
801
802 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
803 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
804 @} else @{
805 set _CPUTAPID 0x25966041
806 @}
807 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0xf -irmask 0xe -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
808
809
810 if @{ [info exists BSTAPID ] @} @{
811 set _BSTAPID $BSTAPID
812 @} else @{
813 set _BSTAPID 0x1457f041
814 @}
815 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME bs -irlen 5 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_BSTAPID
816
817 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
818 @end example
819
820 @b{Tap Naming Convention}
821
822 See the command ``jtag newtap'' for detail, but in breif the names you should use are:
823
824 @itemize @bullet
825 @item @b{tap}
826 @item @b{cpu}
827 @item @b{flash}
828 @item @b{bs}
829 @item @b{jrc}
830 @item @b{unknownN} - it happens :-(
831 @end itemize
832
833 @subsection Reset Configuration
834
835 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
836 managed. If these are @b{CHIP SPECIFIC} they go here, if they are
837 @b{BOARD SPECIFIC} they go in the board file.
838
839 @subsection Work Areas
840
841 Work areas are small RAM areas used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
842 and to download small snippits of code to program flash chips.
843
844 If the chip includes an form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
845 a reasonable work area and use the ``backup'' option.
846
847 @b{PROBLEMS:} On more complex chips, this ``work area'' may become
848 inaccessable if/when the application code enables or disables the MMU.
849
850 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
851
852 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an arm9 with some
853 special high speed download - enable it.
854
855 If the chip has an ARM ``vector catch'' feature - by defeault enable
856 it for Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort, if the
857 user is really writing a handler for those situations - they can
858 easily disable it. Experiance has shown the ``vector catch'' is
859 helpful - for common programing errors.
860
861 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
862
863 @subsection Internal Flash Configuration
864
865 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.
866
867 @b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
868 flash that is external to the chip. (For example the BOOT flash on
869 Chip Select 0). The BOOT flash information goes in a board file - not
870 the TARGET (chip) file.
871
872 Examples:
873 @itemize @bullet
874 @item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
875 @item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
876 @item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
877 @item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.

880 @node About JIM-Tcl
881 @chapter About JIM-Tcl
882 @cindex JIM Tcl
883 @cindex tcl
884
885 OpenOCD includes a small ``TCL Interpreter'' known as JIM-TCL. You can
886 learn more about JIM here: @url{http://jim.berlios.de}
887
888 @itemize @bullet
889 @item @b{JIM vrs TCL}
890 @* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
891 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
892 fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
893 impliments the basic TCL command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
894 4.2MEG zip file containing 1540 files.
895
896 @item @b{Missing Features}
897 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the Real TCL feature if/when
898 needed. We welcome JIM Tcl improvements, not bloat.
899
900 @item @b{Scripts}
901 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are JIM Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
902 command interpretor today (28/nov/2008) is a mixture of (newer)
903 JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpretor.
904
905 @item @b{Commands}
906 @* At the openocd telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one
907 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
908
909 @item @b{Historical Note}
910 @* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in Spring 2008.
911

917 @node Daemon Configuration
918 @chapter Daemon Configuration
919 The commands here are commonly found inthe openocd.cfg file and are
920 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
921 supported.
922 @section init
923 @cindex init
924 This command terminates the configuration stage and
925 enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
926 the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
927 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
928 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
929 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
930
931 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
932 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
933 configuration files and/or command line options.
934
935 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
936 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
937 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
938 read/write memory on your target - the init command must occur before
939 the memory read/write commands.
940
941 @section TCP/IP Ports
942 @itemize @bullet
943 @item @b{telnet_port} <@var{number}>
944 @cindex telnet_port
945 @*Intended for a human. Port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections.
946
947 @item @b{tcl_port} <@var{number}>
948 @cindex tcl_port
949 @*Intended as a machine interface. Port on which to listen for
950 incoming TCL syntax. This port is intended as a simplified RPC
951 connection that can be used by clients to issue commands and get the
952 output from the TCL engine.
953
954 @item @b{gdb_port} <@var{number}>
955 @cindex gdb_port
956 @*First port on which to listen for incoming GDB connections. The GDB port for the
957 first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.

962 @item @b{gdb_breakpoint_override} <@var{hard|soft|disabled}>
963 @cindex gdb_breakpoint_override
964 @anchor{gdb_breakpoint_override}
965 @*Force breakpoint type for gdb 'break' commands.
966 The raison d'etre for this option is to support GDB GUI's without
967 a hard/soft breakpoint concept where the default OpenOCD and
968 GDB behaviour is not sufficient. Note that GDB will use hardware
969 breakpoints if the memory map has been set up for flash regions.
970
971 This option replaces older arm7_9 target commands that addressed
972 the same issue.
973
974 @item @b{gdb_detach} <@var{resume|reset|halt|nothing}>
975 @cindex gdb_detach

980 @cindex gdb_memory_map
981 @*Set to <@var{enable}> to cause OpenOCD to send the memory configuration to gdb when
982 requested. gdb will then know when to set hardware breakpoints, and program flash
983 using the gdb load command. @option{gdb_flash_program enable} will also need enabling
984 for flash programming to work.
985 Default behaviour is <@var{enable}>

1206
1207 It is debatable if this command belongs here - or in a board
1208 configuration file. In fact, in some situations the jtag speed is
1209 changed during the target initialization process (ie: (1) slow at
1210 reset, (2) program the cpu clocks, (3) run fast)
1211
1212 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method. A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
1213
1214 Not all interfaces support ``rtck''. If the interface device can not
1215 support the rate asked for, or can not translate from kHz to
1216 jtag_speed, then an error is returned.
1217
1218 Make sure the jtag clock is no more than @math{1/6th × CPU-Clock}. This is
1219 especially true for synthesized cores (-S). Also see RTCK.
1220
1221 @b{NOTE: Script writers} If the target chip requires/uses RTCK -
1222 please use the command: 'jtag_rclk FREQ'. This TCL proc (in

1224 the specified frequency.

1273
1274 @b{Note:} To maintainer types and integrators. Where exactly the
1275 ``reset configuration'' goes is a good question. It touches several
1276 things at once. In the end, if you have a board file - the board file
1277 should define it and assume 100% that the DONGLE supports
1278 anything. However, that does not mean the target should not also make
1279 not of something the silicon vendor has done inside the
1280 chip. @i{Grr.... nothing is every pretty.}
1281
1282 @* @b{Problems:}
1283 @enumerate
1284 @item Every JTAG Dongle is slightly different, some dongles impliment reset differently.
1285 @item Every board is also slightly different; some boards tie TRST and SRST together.
1286 @item Every chip is slightly different; some chips internally tie the two signals together.
1287 @item Some may not impliment all of the signals the same way.
1288 @item Some signals might be push-pull, others open-drain/collector.
1289 @end enumerate
1290 @b{Best Case:} OpenOCD can hold the SRST (push-button-reset), then
1291 reset the TAP via TRST and send commands through the JTAG tap to halt
1292 the CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed,
1293 and finally release the SRST signal.
1294 @*Depending upon your board vendor, your chip vendor, etc, these
1295 signals may have slightly different names.
1296
1297 OpenOCD defines these signals in these terms:
1298 @itemize @bullet
1299 @item @b{TRST} - is Tap Reset - and should reset only the TAP.
1300 @item @b{SRST} - is System Reset - typically equal to a reset push button.

1307 @cindex reset_config
1308 @* The @t{reset_config} command tells OpenOCD the reset configuration
1309 of your combination of Dongle, Board, and Chips.
1310 If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect
1311 that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can
1312 be @option{none}, @option{trst_only}, @option{srst_only} or
1313 @option{trst_and_srst}.
1314
1315 [@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset
1316 signal implementations. @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
1317 testlogic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
1318 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
1319 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
1320 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
1321 @option{combined} imples both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
1322 @option{trst_pulls_srst}. The default behaviour if no option given is
1323 @option{separate}.
1324
1325 The [@var{trst_type}] and [@var{srst_type}] parameters allow the
1326 driver type of the reset lines to be specified. Possible values are
1327 @option{trst_push_pull} (default) and @option{trst_open_drain} for the
1328 test reset signal, and @option{srst_open_drain} (default) and
1329 @option{srst_push_pull} for the system reset. These values only affect

1517
1518 The ``standard way'' to remove a tap would be to place the tap in
1519 bypass mode. But with the advent of modern chips, this is not always a
1520 good solution. Some taps operate slowly, others operate fast, and
1521 there are other JTAG clock syncronization problems one must face. To
1522 solve that problem, the JTAG Route controller was introduced. Rather
1523 then ``bypass'' the tap, the tap is completely removed from the
1524 circuit and skipped.
1525

1569 @section target COMMANDS
1570 @b{Note:} This command name is SINGULAR - not plural. It is used to
1571 manipulate specific targets, to create targets and other things.
1572
1573 Once a target is created, a TARGETNAME (object) command is created;
1574 see below for details.
1575
1576 The TARGET command accepts these sub-commands:
1577 @itemize @bullet
1578 @item @b{create} .. parameters ..
1579 @* creates a new target, See below for details.
1580 @item @b{types}
1581 @* Lists all supported target types (perhaps some are not yet in this document).
1582 @item @b{names}
1583 @* Lists all current debug target names, for example: 'str912.cpu' or 'pxa27.cpu' example usage:
1584 @verbatim
1585 foreach t [target names] {
1586 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
1587 }
1588 @end verbatim
1589 @item @b{current}
1590 @* Returns the current target. OpenOCD always has, or refers to the ``current target'' in some way.
1591 By default, commands like: ``mww'' (used to write memory) operate on the current target.
1592 @item @b{number} @b{NUMBER}
1593 @* Internally OpenOCD maintains a list of targets - in numerical index
1594 (0..N-1) this command returns the name of the target at index N.
1595 Example usage:
1596 @verbatim
1597 set thename [target number $x]
1598 puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
1599 @end verbatim
1600 @item @b{count}
1601 @* Returns the number of targets known to OpenOCD (see number above)
1602 Example:
1603 @verbatim
1604 set c [target count]
1605 for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
1606 # Assuming you have created this function
1607 print_target_details $x
1608 }
1609 @end verbatim
1610
1611 @end itemize
1612
1613 @section TARGETNAME (object) commands
1614 @b{Use:} Once a target is created, an ``object name'' that represents the
1615 target is created. By convention, the target name is identical to the
1616 tap name. In a multiple target system, one can preceed many common
1617 commands with a specific target name and effect only that target.
1618 @example
1619 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
1620 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
1621 @end example
1622
1623 @b{Model:} The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands. A
1624 good example is a on screen button, once a button is created a button
1625 has a name (a path in TK terms) and that name is useable as a 1st
1626 class command. For example in TK, one can create a button and later
1627 configure it like this:
1628
1629 @example
1630 # Create
1631 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
1632 # Modify
1633 .foobar configure -foreground blue
1634 # Query
1635 set x [.foobar cget -background]
1636 # Report
1637 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
1638 @end example
1639
1640 In OpenOCDs terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
1641 button. Commands avaialble as a ``target object'' are:
1642
1643 @comment START targetobj commands.

1685
1686 @section Target Events
1687 At various times, certian things happen, or you want to happen.
1688
1689 Examples:
1690 @itemize @bullet
1691 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
1692 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
1693 @item During reset, do you need to write to certian memory locations to reconfigure the SDRAM?
1694 @end itemize
1695
1696 All of the above items are handled by target events.
1697
1698 To specify an event action, either during target creation, or later
1699 via ``$_TARGETNAME configure'' see this example.
1700
1701 Syntactially, the option is: ``-event NAME BODY'' where NAME is a
1702 target event name, and BODY is a tcl procedure or string of commands
1703 to execute.
1704
1705 The programers model is the: ``-command'' option used in Tcl/Tk
1706 buttons and events. Below are two identical examples, the first
1707 creates and invokes small procedure. The second inlines the procedure.
1708
1709 @example
1710 proc my_attach_proc @{ @} @{
1711 puts "RESET...."
1712 reset halt
1713 @}
1714 mychip.cpu configure -event gdb-attach my_attach_proc

1895 This command specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This
1896 may be used to speed-up downloads to target memory and flash
1897 operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable operations (some
1898 coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last
1899 parameter decides whether the memory should be preserved
1900 (<@var{backup}>) or can simply be overwritten (<@var{nobackup}>). If
1901 possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as
1902 performing a backup slows down operation.

2014 @subsection External Flash - cfi options
2015 @cindex cfi options
2016 CFI flash are external flash chips - often they are connected to a
2017 specific chip select on the micro. By default at hard reset most
2018 micros have the ablity to ``boot'' from some flash chip - typically
2019 attached to the chips CS0 pin.
2020
2021 For other chip selects: OpenOCD does not know how to configure, or
2022 access a specific chip select. Instead you the human might need to via
2023 other commands (like: mww) configure additional chip selects, or
2024 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
2025 on the FLASH chip.

2029 @*CFI flashes require the number of the target they're connected to as an additional
2030 argument. The CFI driver makes use of a working area (specified for the target)
2031 to significantly speed up operation.
2032
2033 @var{chip_width} and @var{bus_width} are specified in bytes.

2240 The commands documented in this chapter here are common commands that
2241 you a human may want to type and see the output of. Configuration type
2242 commands are documented elsewhere.
2243
2244 Intent:
2245 @itemize @bullet
2246 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
2247 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
2248 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programatically,
2249 or via one of several Tcp/Ip Ports.
2250
2251 @item @b{From the human}
2252 @* A human should interact with the Telnet interface (default port: 4444,
2253 or via GDB, default port 3333)
2254
2255 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
2256 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
2257 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
2258
2259 @item @b{Machine Interface}
2260 The TCL interface intent is to be a machine interface. The default TCL
2261 port is 5555.

2281 @*Display or adjust debug level to n<0-3>
2282
2283 @subsection fast [@var{enable|disable}]
2284 @cindex fast
2285 @*Default disabled. Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous". For instance ARM7/9 DCC memory
2286 downloads and fast memory access will work if the JTAG interface isn't too fast and
2287 the core doesn't run at a too low frequency. Note that this option only changes the default
2288 and that the indvidual options, like DCC memory downloads, can be enabled and disabled
2289 individually.
2290
2291 The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
2292 as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
2293 and robustness with a minimum of configuration.
2294
2295 Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:
2296

2298 openocd -c "fast enable" -c "interface dummy" -f target/str710.cfg

2373 when a target cannot be reset and halted. The target, after reset is
2374 released begins to execute code. OpenOCD attempts to stop the CPU and
2375 then sets the Program counter back at the reset vector. Unfortunatlly

2512 @cindex arm7_9 fast_memory_access
2513 @anchor{arm7_9 fast_memory_access}
2514 @*Allow OpenOCD to read and write memory without checking completion of
2515 the operation. This provides a huge speed increase, especially with USB JTAG
2516 cables (FT2232), but might be unsafe if used with targets running at a very low
2517 speed, like the 32kHz startup clock of an AT91RM9200.
2518 @item @b{arm7_9 dcc_downloads} <@var{enable}|@var{disable}>
2519 @cindex arm7_9 dcc_downloads
2520 @*Enable the use of the debug communications channel (DCC) to write larger (>128 byte)
2521 amounts of memory. DCC downloads offer a huge speed increase, but might be potentially
2522 unsafe, especially with targets running at a very low speed. This command was introduced
2523 with OpenOCD rev. 60.

2667 In general these commands control JTAG taps at a very low level. For
2668 example if you need to control a JTAG Route Controller (ie: the
2669 OMAP3530 on the Beagle Board has one) you might use these commands in

2707 @chapter TFTP
2708 @cindex TFTP
2709 If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
2710 be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).
2711
2712 The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
2713 "/tftp/ip/" and append the tftp path on the tftp
2714 server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf" will
2715 load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
2716 if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
2717
2718 In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
2719 that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
2720 are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
2721 a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

2749 @node GDB and OpenOCD
2750 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
2751 @cindex GDB and OpenOCD
2752 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
2753 to debug remote targets.
2754
2755 @section Connecting to gdb
2756 @cindex Connecting to gdb
2757 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
2758 instance 6.3 has a known bug where it produces bogus memory access
2759 errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
2760 @url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}
2761
2762
2763 A connection is typically started as follows:
2764 @example
2765 target remote localhost:3333
2766 @end example
2767 This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
2768
2769 To see a list of available OpenOCD commands type @option{monitor help} on the
2770 gdb commandline.
2771
2772 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
2773 to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
2774 packet size and device memory map.
2775
2776 Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following gdb options to increase
2777 the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
2778 @example
2779 set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
2780 set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
2781 set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
2782 set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
2783 @end example
2784 This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.
2785
2786 @section Programming using gdb
2787 @cindex Programming using gdb
2788
2789 By default the target memory map is sent to gdb, this can be disabled by
2790 the following OpenOCD config option:
2791 @example
2792 gdb_memory_map disable
2793 @end example
2794 For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
2795 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
2796 working area.
2797
2798 Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
2799 flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
2800 that the OpenOCD option @option{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
2801 using a memory map. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
2802
2803 To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
2804 All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as RAM.
2805
2806 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible,
2807 this can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following gdb command.
2808 @example
2809 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
2810 @end example
2811
2812 If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
2813 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
2814
2815 gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
2816 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
2817 will be used.
2818
2819 If the target needs configuring before gdb programming, an event
2820 script can be executed.
2821 @example
2822 $_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
2823 @end example
2824
2825 To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
2826 can be used.

2828 @node TCL scripting API
2829 @chapter TCL scripting API
2830 @cindex TCL scripting API
2831 API rules
2832
2833 The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
2834 of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
2835 information as an argument to each proc.
2836
2837 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
2838 pair list and lists.
2839
2840 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
2841 list.
2842
2843 @verbatim
2844
2845 > set foo(me) Duane
2846 > set foo(you) Oyvind
2847 > set foo(mouse) Micky
2848 > set foo(duck) Donald
2849
2850 If one does this:
2851
2852 > set foo
2853
2854 The result is:
2855
2856 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
2857
2858 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
2859
2860 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
2861 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
2862 }
2863 @end verbatim
2864
2865 Lists returned must be relatively small. Otherwise a range
2866 should be passed in to the proc in question.
2867
2868 Low level commands are prefixed with "openocd_", e.g. openocd_flash_banks
2869 is the low level API upon which "flash banks" is implemented.

2956
2957 In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
2958 syncronization'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
2959 operating at some speed, your target is operating at another. The two
2960 clocks are not syncronized, they are ``asynchronous''
2961
2962 In order for the two to work together they must syncronize. Otherwise
2963 the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
2964 work. There are 2 basic options. @b{1.} use a special circuit or
2965 @b{2.} one clock must be some multile slower the the other.
2966
2967 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
2968 is a non-issue (ie: A 500mhz ARM926) but for others - for example some
2969 ATMEL SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32khz -
2970 program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
2971 those critical times you must slow the jtag clock to sometimes 1 to
2972 4khz.
2973
2974 Imagine debugging that 500mhz arm926 hand held battery powered device
2975 that ``deep sleeps'' at 32khz between every keystroke. It can be
2976 painful.
2977
2978 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
2979
2980 In order to make use of this your jtag dongle must support the RTCK
2981 feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!
2982
2983 The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
2984 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
2985 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
2986 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the jtag synchronisation logic
2987 work? / how does adaptive clocking working?''.
2988
2989 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
2990 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
2991 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
2992 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
2993
2994 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but is slower}
2995
2996 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
2997
2998 In the most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
2999 the target clock speed. But what is that ``magic division'' it varies
3000 depending upon the chips on your board. @b{ARM Rule of thumb} Most ARM
3001 based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx Rule of thumb} is
3002 1/12 the clock speed.
3003
3004 Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6mhz.
3005
3006 You can still debug the 'lower power' situations - you just need to
3007 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
3008 teadious, it is not always practical.
3009
3010 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - ie: Cheat a little
3011 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
3012 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
3013 this way.
3014
3015 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
3016
3017 @example
3018 # Example: 1.234mhz
3019 jtag_khz 1234
3020 @end example
3021
3022
3023 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why does not backslashes in paths under Windows doesn't work?
3024
3025 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
3026 around Windows filenames.
3027
3028 @example
3029 > echo \a
3030
3031 > echo @{\a@}
3032 \a
3033 > echo "\a"
3034
3035 >
3036 @end example
3037
3038
3039 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
3040
3041 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
3042 claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
3043 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
3044
3045 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
3046 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
3047 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
3048
3049 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
3050 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
3051 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
3052
3053 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
3054 and works sometimes fine.
3055
3056 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
3057 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
3058 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
3059 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
3060
3061 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
3062 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
3063 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
3064
3065 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
3066 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
3067
3068 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
3069 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
3070 memory read caused data abort".
3071
3072 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
3073 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
3074 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
3075 be done, feel free to add this here.
3076
3077 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of ZEROs onto the
3078 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
3079 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
3080 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
3081 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
3082 stackframes have been processed. By pushing ZEROs on the stack, GDB
3083 gracefully stops.
3084
3085 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
3086 your C code, do the same, artifically push some zeros on to the stack,
3087 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
3088
3089 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
3090 often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
3091 bytes. Painful...
3092
3093
3094 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
3095 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
3096
3097 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
3098 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
3099 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
3100 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
3101 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
3102 reset, everything else should work fine.
3103
3104 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
3105 Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
3106 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
3107 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
3108
3109 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
3110 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
3111 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
3112 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
3113
3114 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
3115
3116 @item @b{USB Power} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
3117 following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
3118 4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
3119 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3120
3121 First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
3122 hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
3123 corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
3124 chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
3125
3126 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
3127 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
3128 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3129
3130 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
3131 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
3132
3133 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
3134 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
3135 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank lpc2000
3136 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
3137 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
3138 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
3139 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
3140 clock frequency?
3141
3142 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
3143 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
3144 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
3145 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
3146 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
3147
3148 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
3149
3150 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
3151 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
3152 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
3153 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
3154 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
3155 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
3156 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
3157
3158 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
3159
3160 @item @b{JTAG Tap Order} JTAG Tap Order - Command Order
3161
3162 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG taps. For example: ST
3163 Microsystems STM32 chips have two taps, a ``boundary scan tap'' and
3164 ``cortexM3'' tap. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
3165 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
3166 connected to the Boundary Scan Tap, which then connects to the
3167 CortexM3 Tap, which then connects to the TDO pin.
3168
3169 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The CortexM3, then
3170 (2) The Boundary Scan Tap. If your board includes an additional JTAG
3171 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
3172 place it before or after the stm32 chip in the chain. For example:
3173
3174 @itemize @bullet
3175 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
3176 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 CortexM3 TDI (input)
3177 @item STM32 CortexM3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
3178 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
3179 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
3180 @end itemize
3181
3182 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note
3183
3184 @itemize @bullet
3185 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
3186 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
3187 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
3188 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
3189 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
3190 @end itemize
3191
3192
3193 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
3194 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561
3195 arm7_9_execute_sys_speed(): timeout waiting for SYSCOMP

3205 Not everyone knows TCL - this is not intended to be a replacement for
3206 learning TCL, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
3207 how the TCL Scripts work.
3208
3209 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
3210 who need to understand a bit more of how JIM-Tcl works so they can do
3211 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
3212 OpenOCD.

3214 @section TCL Rule #1
3215 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
3216 @enumerate
3217 @item Rule #1: The wife is aways correct
3218 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3219 @end enumerate
3220
3221 The TCL equal is this:
3222
3223 @enumerate
3224 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
3225 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3226 @end enumerate
3227
3228 As in the famous joke, the consiquences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
3229 you understand Rule #1, you will understand TCL.
3230
3231 @section TCL Rule #1b
3232 There is a second pair of rules.
3233 @enumerate
3234 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
3235 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
3236 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
3237 in TCL.
3238 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3239 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
3240 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
3241 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
3242 @end enumerate
3243
3244 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
3245 Every TCL command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
3246 deliberatly. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
3247 Everything is a string}
3248
3249 @section TCL Quoting Operators
3250 In life of a TCL script, there are two important periods of time, the
3251 difference is subtle.
3252 @enumerate
3253 @item Parse Time
3254 @item Evaluation Time
3255 @end enumerate
3256
3257 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in TCL. TCL has
3258 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
3259 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
3260
3261 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
3262 sign. BTW, to set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
3263 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC langauge ``let x
3264 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
3265
3266 @itemize @bullet
3267 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
3268 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command subsitution. It operates much
3269 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
3270 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
3271 string}. These two statments are roughly identical.
3272 @example
3273 # bash example
3274 X=`date`
3275 echo "The Date is: $X"
3276 # TCL example
3277 set X [date]
3278 puts "The Date is: $X"
3279 @end example
3280 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
3281 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
3282 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
3283 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
3284 is a string}
3285 @example
3286 set x "Dinner"
3287 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
3288 @end example
3289 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
3290 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
3291 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
3292 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
3293 feature: @{curly-braces@} nest, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
3294 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
3295 28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
3296 @end itemize
3297
3298 @section Consiquences of Rule 1/2/3/4
3299
3300 The consiquences of Rule 1 is profound.
3301
3302 @subsection Tokenizing & Execution.
3303
3304 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
3305 the normal way.
3306
3307 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
3308 tokenized and according to the quoting rules. After tokenizing, that
3309 line is immedatly executed.
3310
3311 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
3312 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - a few lines later closes.
3313
3314 @subsection Command Execution
3315
3316 Remember earlier: There is no such thing as ``control flow''
3317 statements in TCL. Instead there are COMMANDS that simpily act like
3318 control flow operators.
3319
3320 Commands are executed like this:
3321
3322 @enumerate
3323 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
3324 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
3325 @item Repeat until End Of File.
3326 @end enumerate
3327
3328 It sort of works like this:
3329 @example
3330 for(;;)@{
3331 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
3332
3333 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
3334
3335 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
3336 @}
3337 @end example
3338
3339 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
3340 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
3341 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
3342 of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
3343 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
3344 ``LookupCommand()''
3345
3346 @subsection The FOR Command
3347
3348 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In TCL,
3349 the FOR command is normally implimented in C. Remember, FOR is a
3350 command just like any other command.
3351
3352 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
3353 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
3354 are:
3355
3356 @enumerate 0
3357 @item The ascii text 'for'
3358 @item The start text
3359 @item The test expression
3360 @item The next text
3361 @item The body text
3362 @end enumerate
3363
3364 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
3365 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
3366 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
3367 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
3368
3369 Remember that every TCL command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
3370 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
3371
3372 @example
3373 int
3374 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
3375 int *argc,
3376 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
3377 @end example
3378
3379 Real TCL is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
3380 introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
3381 still operates in the same basic way.
3382
3383 @subsection FOR Command Implimentation
3384
3385 To understand TCL it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
3386 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
3387
3388 In TCL there are two underying C helper functions.
3389
3390 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
3391
3392 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
3393 string. Commands can be seperated by semi-colons, or newlines. While
3394 parsing, variables are expanded per the quoting rules
3395
3396 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
3397 expression and returns a value.
3398
3399 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
3400 implimented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
3401 @example
3402 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
3403
3404 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
3405
3406 int
3407 MyForCommand( void *interp,
3408 int argc,
3409 char **argv )
3410 @{
3411 if( argc != 5 )@{
3412 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
3413 return ERROR;
3414 @}
3415
3416 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
3417
3418 // Execute the start statement.
3419 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
3420
3421 // Top of loop test
3422 for(;;)@{
3423 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
3424 if( i == 0 )
3425 break;
3426
3427 // Execute the body
3428 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
3429
3430 // Execute the LOOP part
3431 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
3432 @}

3443 @section OpenOCD TCL Usage
3444
3445 @subsection source and find commands
3446 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
3447 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
3448 @*Remember the parsing rules
3449 @enumerate
3450 @item The FIND command is in square brackets.
3451 @* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
3452 find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
3453 subsituted on the orginal command line.
3454 @item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
3455 @* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
3456 @end enumerate
3457 @subsection format command
3458 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
3459 @* TCL no command like @b{printf()}, intead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
3460 @b{sprintf()}.
3461 @b{Example}
3462 @example
3463 set x 6
3464 set y 7
3465 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
3466 @end example
3467 @enumerate
3468 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
3469 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
3470 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
3471 @* Refer to Rule #1
3472 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
3473 @* Refer to Rule #1.
3474 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
3475 @end enumerate
3476 @subsection Body Or Inlined Text
3477 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
3478 @example
3479 #1 Good
3480 proc someproc @{@} @{
3481 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
3482 @}
3483 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
3484 #2 Good - no variables
3485 $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
3486 #3 Good Curly Braces
3487 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
3488 puts "Time: [date]"
3489 @}
3490 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
3491 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
3492 @end example
3493 @enumerate
3494 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
3495 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
3496 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
3497 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
3498 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
3499 command.
3500 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
3501 @*There are 4 examples:
3502 @enumerate
3503 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
3504 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands semi-colon seperated
3505 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
3506 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
3507 @end enumerate
3508
3509 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
3510 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
3511 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
3512
3513 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
3514 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
3515 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
3516 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
3517 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
3518 change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
3519 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
3520 @end enumerate
3521 @subsection Global Variables
3522 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
3523 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
3524 you must say so. Also see ``upvar''. Example:
3525 @example
3526 proc myproc @{ @} @{
3527 set y 0 #Local variable Y
3528 global x #Global variable X
3529 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
3530 @}
3531 @end example
3532 @section Other Tcl Hacks
3533 @b{Dynamic Variable Creation}
3534 @example
3535 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
3536 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr $x + 1]@} @{
3537 # Create var name
3538 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
3539 # Make it a global
3540 global $vn
3541 # Set it.
3542 set $vn [expr (1 << $x)]
3543 @}
3544 @end example
3545 @b{Dynamic Proc/Command Creation}
3546 @example
3547 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
3548 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
3549 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"
3550 @}

3553 @node Target library
3554 @chapter Target library
3555 @cindex Target library
3556
3557 OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
3558 used as-is or serve as a starting point.
3559
3560 The target library is published together with the openocd executable and
3561 the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
3562 Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface.
3563
3564 The command line below uses the example parport configuration scripts
3565 that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
3566 finally issues the init and reset command. The communication speed
3567 is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.
3568
3569
3570 @example
3571 openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg -c "init" -c "reset"
3572 @end example
3573
3574
3575 To list the target scripts available:
3576
3577 @example
3578 $ ls /usr/local/lib/openocd/target
